The Workshop Sale

7 December 2011

For over 20 years a group of crafts people and makers have been getting together in East Dulwich to sell their wares - samples, old stock, bits and bobs etc. Over the years there have been some fantastic bargains.

And for the last 10 years I have been helping my friends Rob and Andy of Rob Turner China.

This year we were in a new venue - fabulous Push Studios in East Dulwich - and it really worked! We had a very successful day on the china stall! And other people also had a good day (including the fabulous Linda Miller, but unfortunately I did not take any photographs of her stall).

This was Trisha Needham's space upstairs. She does lovely printed velvet. You might be able to make out a fabulous sample for a new print hanging in the background.

Anna Lovell and Elaine Gough - beautiful silver jewelry.

Coco Barclay - lovely leather goods - my photo does not really do them justice. Her colours are jewel like.

Welcome!

I'm Hilary, a textile and stitch enthusiast but with a day job that could not be further removed from the world of art and textiles. I enjoy writing my blog, recording my life outside of the day job, discovering my art and finding that work life balance - hence the title of this blog. I hope you enjoy reading about these little adventures too.
